I started into this once upon a time and haven't had much time to get back to it. It was mostly working, but probably need some major re-tooling after the Guacamole rendering engine underwent some major changes in 1.6.0. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-261 > 2.

Yeah, this would probably be a good addition, and probably not terribly complicated to implement. Feel free to enter a Jira ticket for it (you'll need to request an account if you don't already have one). > 3.

If you were wanting to implement a command-line client that uses Guacamole Client to control access to connections proxied through guacd you would have to either add functionality to guacd that would allow for sending plain text back over to the client so that the command line client could interpret that, or the command line client would have to be capable of rendering those images. > > I was thinking that maybe Redfish is a better approach than #2, still > not researched.

Redfish may be a good addition to IPMI SOL - it is the standard, but there's plenty of stuff out there that doesn't support it - either older stuff, or the "express" editions of many of the on-board management controllers. > > Are those of any interest?, looking for hints on what to prioritize. I think all of them are interesting, with #1 being somewhat in progress (though sorely neglected) and #3 being the most challenging. -Nick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
